GENE SIMMONS ON RACHAEL RAY SHOW

Recently did the Rachael Ray Show, which will not air, I'm told until March 11th -- (coincidentally the premier of our Season III of GENE SIMMONS FAMILY JEWELS). All I can tell you about the show is that it involves a 'makeover' -- but what kind, I'm not saying. It was interesting to see just how Rachael worked. Unlike other shows, she doesn't use cue cards (cards that have words on them for the host to say -- like a script). She just says it. What you see is what happens. There were no retakes. It was real.

Everyone on the staff were terrific and I think you'll get a kick out of the subject matter (which I'm not free to talk about just yet).

STANLEY MAY BE VEGAS' PHANTOM

By Norm Clarke

Is Paul Stanley, the vocalist for KISS, about to become The Phantom of Las Vegas?

That's the rumor. Stanley, who twice starred as The Phantom in the Toronto production of 'The Phantom of the Opera' in 1999, is in talks with 'Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular,' sources tell me.

Stanley, 56, is having a penthouse suite built atop Palms Place near suites owned by pop singer Jessica Simpson and pro wrestling icon Hulk Hogan.

Stanley has been out front as a fundraiser and supporter for AboutFace, an organization that helps raise awareness for individuals with facial differences. He was born with Microtia, a congenital deformity of the pinna (outer ear).

Dear KISS!

Here is the billboard on Rock Cafe in Nijniy Novgorod (Russia) featuring the great images of KISS' current line-up!

Thanks, Alex
